CJP Files Suit to Protect Home Health Aides from Fraudulent Transfers
The Creditor Justice Project filed a lawsuit in Queens Supreme Court on behalf of a group of home health aides, asserting claims for violations of the Labor Law and Debtor and Creditor Law. The suit alleges that the workers were for years only paid for 13 hours of their 24 hour shifts, even though the Labor Law required compensation for all 24 hours. The suit further alleges that after the individual operator of the corporate employer became aware that she might be sued, she transferred four properties with collective market value exceeding $4 million to Limited Liability Companies and a trust that she and her husband controlled. CJP is co-counseling the case with the National Center for Law and Economic Justice and the firm of Getman, Sweeney & Dunn, PLLC.
